The future of makeup
-
I'm not judging women, I'm drawing red lines. I'm stating my preferences in dating situations. I also don't like unkempt women for dating purposes, or overly tattooed, or too far right wing, or religious zealots, etc...
I imagine you have some standards?
But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?
sounds very judgemental to me...

Older guy here.
I have always avoided dating women who would plaster shit all over their faces. I'd rather see those pores, freckles (actually I'm sucker for freckles), etc. I do like a bit of eye liner or shadows (or whatever it's called) lipstick/gloss, mascara. Accents, if you will. But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?
Also, I want to have a good idea of what they'll look like in the morning.

Nope. I don't look for anything, I just avoid certain things, as I suspect most people do in their romantic endeavors.

Anybody is free to do whatever they like as long as they don't harm others, or cause an objective harm to society.
Within those limits you may do as you please, and I'll defend your right to, but I don't have to like it.

Of course it is judging, everyone judges. You are doing so right now with those comments.
People are allowed to have preferences. And too much make-up is indicative of having a fake personality. So I stay clear of those kinds of people as well.

Of course I'm judgemental about someone spewing sexist tropes, thats different from judging how someone chooses to present themselves.

Protip: dont judge women by how they choose to present themselves. Its sexist.
I think that the real sexism is in it being the norm that women have to paint their faces in order to be able to partake in society, lest they are deemed 'unkept'.
i know some people delight in adhering to the rule, like many moslimas choosing to wear a headscarf. Or tradwifes seeking their submissive role in the family.
I'm not judging them if they do, but I feel the mold that is the norm should not go unquestioned.
However you can't go and criticize men for having an aesthetical preference, whilst championing the women's right to that preference, that's hypocritical.

You avoid makeup that you can notice. The vast majority of women wear makeup, and often go to great lengths for a “natural” look.

It's really not. Women wear makeup for all kinds of reasons. It's really nobody else's business but their own.

My dude this is exactly what "no makeup makeup" is.

It's cute you think anyone cares about your opinion on women's makeup.

... or, you know, makeup is fun and we use it for self-expression. Jesus christ.

I imagine that is it.
I never said that I am against makeup, or even against people with Amidala/Kabuki levels of make-up. You do you. I'm stating my personal preferences in the "romantic interest" area, which should be absolutely fine by everybody.
If you criticise my preferences you are being a bit of a fascist, no?
Go criticise furries, for example, in public, see where that gets you.

It's interesting that you have such poor reading comprehension. I'm stating what I find attractive, I state no opinion on amke up per se. You do you.

And that I find attractive. Even women who have no full face stuff, but do their eyeliner with those pointy ends, or whimsical stuff like that. I'm basically not attracted to women who look like real life versions of a beauty photo filter.

No. What a ridiculous thing to say.

It's not poor reading comprehension. The post pertained to makeup formulations changing over time and you jump right in with your opinion on the kind of makeup you find unattractive, as if anybody cares. My issue is with the insulting way you describe women doing the kind of makeup that you don't like. You seem to feel that if you don't find it attractive, it's OK to denigrate it. It's rude and sexist because women exist and do things according to their own preferences and don't give a shit if you like it or not.
And I'm not the only one pointing this out to you, but you seem determined not to understand.
